I prefer the CHs, as well...HOWEVER....The RS4s are mint and $900 for the used set. The CHs would be over $2k but brand new. Anyone know the weight of the OEM RS4 wheel? Gotta be close to 30lbs, no?

You do know you're going to have to roll your fenders to fit OEM Rs4 wheels.
I believe the offset is ET29.

[tadhgbrosnan]

The set I am looking at has been "milled" to et32. Shouldn't be an issue at that offset, correct?

BBS CH (because that's what I'm getting )

18" wheels FTL. 19" or larger only. I would go BBS.

If the CHs were 19s I'd vote for them.......since not a vote for the OEM RS4 wheels.

Depends on the ride height and tire width. My Champions are ET32 and had a little bit of rubbing when I was sitting low both front and rear with 235/35s. I think I am sitting at 25.25 - 25.5 ground to fender and don't have any rubbing anymore.

That's still gonna rub.

Here it is in a nutshell. An 8.5" whel with a +32 is considered the most aggressive that you can go. Since the RS4 wheel is a 9" wheel, you are going to have 4.5" when divided in half. That is 1/4" more than the 8.5" wheel per half.

Bottom line, you're stil gonna be out too far by about 1/4". You're gonna rub!

I thought u've always recommended RS4 replicas :))) Alright, old joke :)))

BTW, how much does it cost to roll the fenders???

[PenguiN]

RS4 wheels for sure. CHs dont look as clean

[snowbird]

I think 19's are the only way to go - so long as they fit properly.

They weigh 26lbs each. Weighed them myself when I bought a second set to mount my winter tires. Won't fit on S4 however.

[ChampionMotorsport]

I concur with you guys. Even with an 32 ET. If it were a 35 it would be close.
